Our client is a well-established sub contracting business operating within the M3 / M4 corridors. They have an excellent reputation for the high standard of gardens and landscaping they create for new build commercial and residential developments.

As part of their planned expansion, they have created a new opening for a dedicated Contracts Manager.
